Apple iMac Pro to go on sale on December 14 Comments

nahid070, 13 Dec 2017It's not only about of optimized os as well as workability... Mac can run plenty of apps.. but... more*now has the same room all mac has.. it's called all kinds of work station.. where as mac is only sophisticate for editing and media stream.. but you will have the freedom of all things as want to like to do... That's why a large margin of people loves customizable things..

Mac can run plenty of apps.. but not original software like Windows.. mac can run Windows but not full Windows version as worthy to be... Software is more organic than any app.. but Window's built in software are well optimized. Oh yes Windows 10 is now the roam we all object

I assumed it's called the E7 V5. I am ot really fond of Xeon chipset. and to be fudging Honest. NEVER used an iMac. Not to mention the iMac Pro. but I know they are beasts because of the OS's optimisation level.
sure. you could cram in even 500 chipsets of kilocore inside the PC with 8 yottabyte of RAM and 512 BronotByte of storage. but if the OS is not optimised. all that is not worth a penny.
I used the conversion of the 2016 VERSION of Xeon with the calculation of the improvements.
the Xeon 2016 https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products­/processors/xeon/e5-processors/e5-4655-v4.html this one to be exact. achieves about 4600 points. (tested this one personaly) and intel claim an increase of 15% in preformance in generation. 4600*1.15=5360 or so. (so yeah. I did exaggarate a bit.)
Having 16 logical cores bring the score up to said claim 34,726 points. (Again. a whole i7 6600u core away from said claim.) as Multicore bonus promised is 24%
I may be a BSc in software engineering. but I did NOT say that these are accurate scores.
as for PROOFS and LINKS. those are company secrets that I cannot share. (I'll be fired if I do)
take it or leave it. your choice.

Second, you allegedly used a random cpu benchmark. Third, you didn't list the source. Fourth, which country has access to apple devices like this, but not regular pc parts (again, desperately defending apple)?

Kiyasuriin, 13 Dec 2017Israel to be exact... and appearantly in israel its' even cheaper. (now that I looked specific... moreWell I just checked out on Amazon.. the base price was about 200$. Obviously better than having a macpro :)

Anonymous, 13 Dec 2017Would you please give me a source of where you got that geekbench score? Apple didn't specify ... moreThe Xeon they used is an E7 v5 for the basic variant, that's the model I compared against. octa core version.
this CPU achieves said scores mentioned.
I would like to see the link of RAM in 3200 MHz!? highest I could find is 2400!
and it's not bs. It's true that even normal PCs support 10 but those are rare in my country.
I have taken the best components possible I could find IN MY COUNTRY and compared.

AdamBoy64, 13 Dec 2017Couldn't find what Xeon processors they were utilising. Kinda odd that it's not mentioned.
Fr... moreApple has completely given up on Nvidia back in like 2010/2011, while these GPUs are good for gaming, they are apsolute shit for compute power (which is what Apple users want).

Anonymous, 13 Dec 2017Sadly it is not always true. Redmi Note 4 is less powerful than Redmi Note 3, S8 has less batt... moreYes it is not always better. However, it generally is. And it is flagship we're talking about. At the very least, the processor should be better. If it is not more powerful, it might be more efficient. Just my 2 cent.

abigfanoftechs, 12 Dec 2017The question is, for the entry price of $5k ... can you build an equivalent Hackingtos?
Any... moreThis is a very cheap mac. Actually the cheapest of them all given that it makes money in its idle time if you set it up accordingly.

At the point of this writing, Radeon Pro + a powerful Xeon make $12 a day (after electricity) mining with the cryptonight algorithm. In about a year you almost get your money back.

So yes, being the only Mac to actually be so good in cryptonight it comes with an unbeleivable rebate (basically).

bakzh0, 13 Dec 2017I don't mean to troll or OOT, but saying something like this:
-The iMac Pro is the most power... moreSadly it is not always true. Redmi Note 4 is less powerful than Redmi Note 3, S8 has less battery life than S7, G6 has the same horsepower (pretty much) as G5, wonky night photography and sealed battery (all similar or worse).

It's a myth that things get better over time. That is only true to talented companues, not so in the less talented ones. So yes, it should be referred that *this* is the most powerful xx. It is not a given.

Anonymous, 13 Dec 2017Would you please give me a source of where you got that geekbench score? Apple didn't specify ... moreu forgot something a nice 5k display and everything is built inside it
sure i can get similar pc for 2k but here you get whole system with nice design
good displays are not cheap overall your build will be close to 4k$ and with apple you pay extra 1k to build everything in slim body
its not overpriced its the most reasonable apple product
